    Yeah... even that one flew over my head... standing on a chair.

    On the numbers game... keep maybe 9 DL? Four pure DTs and DEs and one swingman? And Orchard as a DE/LB swingman helps as well...

    DTs (tech)

    • Danny (0/1)
    • Meder (0-3)
    • Ojund (1-5)
    • Brantley (3/5)

    DEs (tech)

    • Myles (5-9)
    • Ogbah (5-7)
    • Nassib (5-7)
    • Orchard (7/9/LB)

    Swing (tech)

    • Bryant (3-7)

    Seems a reasonble blend...

    Good stuff! I could see us keep the 9 you list.

    I like Bryant's flexibility to play virtually any technique upfront. There's even been occasions where Bryant lined up on the Nose vrs Cincy (the last time we beat them in 2014). He's been a great guy to have especially when we were working around injuries. Me thinks he still could be if there isn't a hurry to race him out of here due to his age. He should have fresh legs after missing last season. I'd love to see this guy in Gregg Williams' D.

    Right now, the depth for the dline depth looks good on paper. That said, injuries in training camp and preseason can change that quickly.

  • I fail to see how Orchard will be taking Des' spot...?

    What is Bryant anyway? A DE, a DT. A hybrid? (we can't ask Steeler fans...they can't tell the difference)

    Seems fair. Will they keep that many? If so, we will have to add an O to the GOOONS squad. Or to the GOOOMBaS.

    It almost seems that their analytic software makes the computers boot out veterans.

    Certainly a tendency, O, but not if other factors, e.g., performance/production, outweigh clearing the spot to develop a youngster.

    I think that applies to Bryant... plus missing 2016 does make him a fairly low-mileage 30-yo...

    That is why I say that Dez Bryant will likely be on the chopping block. At this point he may not fit their computer model.

    i probably agree. Way too much depth at DE so he'll have to compete with some very good young DT's to see the field much.

    Whom? Not Danny, he's locked in at the nose and doesn't threaten getting by guards like Des.

    Jobi is the rookie rotational man at the spot. Meder swings between the two.

    Bryant may be a roster casualty, but it won't be until a competent 3tech and depth is established.

    Agreed Tia, Danny's not going anywhere. Jobi is a bull-dozing 3tech tank..straight forward..but check out Jobi's tape & watch his lateral foot work/movement? Williams has got some work on him just like any other draftee..but Williams did have his hands on him at senior bowl

    .

    You really think williams is going to runnalot of 3-4 looks? I dont see it. Dannys not gonna be lined up over center much if at all imo. Williams is one of the best 4-3 DC's in football,

    I think you need to verse yourself on an 'over' call, bud... I'd venture we see it quite a bit.

    Even then, playing the nose guard position doesn't mean lining up as a 0tech. He can draw double teams between the center and guard.

    Danny will live at the 0/1...

    I still think Des is the best 1-5 flex we've got and will make the squad.

    4-3 DE for Orchard.....should be a good fit.....(fingers crossed)....and, yeah, lets hope he DOES beat out the older - over paid Bryant.....that would be a sign of improvement on a line that has performed poorly....(consistently).....

    Sir Mud, all we got to go on is the last time we saw Orch..It was a preseason game at GB after Hue stated all previous draftees would be re-evaluated..May not mean a thing**** but why was Orch out there still playing with 3rd & 4th on depth chart in 4th qtr??..we shall see, it is not Horton's defense

    .........because this FO put their guys in well before they earned the position......Schobert did nothing, yet was rewarded with a starting position(which he promptly lost to a UDFA we had already cut, then "needed" to re-sign.....

    @tiamat63 said:

    Des Bryant?

    Both.....A Bryant on the coverage comment.....got burned covering a TE(once) and we cried and cried for weeks(months?) about it....acting as if an OLB shouldnt be asked to cover a TE......

    @orion said:

    Not for nothin' but I ain't ever seen Orchard do much of anything.

    We have a new D-Coordinator, so, all bets might be off.

    Much of anything?.....in 6 or 7 starts ever?......started 3 games....did ok.....then came on with 3 sacks in the last 4 games.....so, by my count, he sacked the QB in 50% of his starts, as a rookie.....

    Pretty good, if yer askin me....(certainly not cutting material).....of course, with this FO, maybe it is.....

    Hmmm....I dont know.....Shashi tends to lose them well ahead of establishing depth or who the replacement might be.....just ask Gipson, Whitner, Kruges, Orchard, Mingo, Hawkins, Gabriel, Hartline, Schwartz, Mack, etc etc etc.....

    Cam Johnson.....cut, then signed in week 4 and then installed as starter over Schobert.....

    Kinda originally added Shelton on the end by accident but it kinda still works. 🙂

    -been gone for a week but just got back from Columbus last night, can't wait to get back on here though!~ Super excited about this season. The talent is EVERYWHERE. I fucking LOVE the way this defense is starting to look. And THE OFFENSE!>? Wow, I'm stoked by our young QB group. I think that this could be the best crop of QBs that we've had for a long time. This is sorta draggin on so, yeah; excited, excited, excited!
